Gluten Free?

Hi all,

I am so happy to have found this site. Living gluten free has enough challenges; it is so nice to have a place to go and learn from others in the same situation!

I have had chronic abdominal pain for a year without a diagnosis despite countless doctors and tests. A friend suggested I try an elimination diet....no gluten, no dairy. Wow, what a difference that made. I have been gluten-free for 6 weeks and have just (2 weeks) reintroduced dairy on a limited basis. I have been eating peanut butter without an issue.

Last week I purchased some cashews, almonds and dry roasted peanuts.....looking for a quick snack. I had enjoyed the dry roasted nuts before and had no problem. The almonds are so yummy! The bad news is they caused a flare in my abdominal pain. I have been on a BRAT diet to let my gut rest.

Could almonds have done this much damage? Has anyone had this problem? Everything I have read say nuts are OK.

I appreciate the feedback........sorry this was 'wordy'

Welcome to the forums! You'll find lots and lots of information and support here.

As for the nuts, are you sure it was the nuts that caused the problem? Did you try anything else different in the day or two before eating the nuts? A different brand of anything? Did you eat out? If you were eating with your fingers did you wash your hands before digging in? Just wondering if cross contamination could be blamed... :)

It sounds like this is a brand of nuts you've eaten before? Or did you buy the nuts in bulk? Bulk buying can be dangerous because scoops can be shared among different bins.

Or who knows, maybe the nuts just didn't sit well with you that day...

Nuts *should* be gluten free.

I've gotten sick overindulging on dry roasted peanuts. I think they have too much MSG for my poor stomach to handle.

My daughter who is celiac had a gluten reaction after eating nuts because of cross-contamination. Check the label - some nuts are often packaged on lines that also package wheat.

Welcome to the forum!

Another thing to watch out for is nuts coated in starch. Many different types of nuts are coated in wheat starch or other starches that can cause us trouble. Always check the labels even if it appears to be plain nuts. The walnuts in mcdonalds salads are a perfect example of what not to eat. At other times nuts are processed in a plant that may process other items that contain wheat or barley. I travel a lot of have to check nuts in every airport as they are all different. Some are so bad I started bringing enough with me for the trip home too!

Good luck

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
